Question

How do you write the equation in slope intercept form given `y − 4 = (x + 8)`?

Answer 1

I got: `y=x+12`

Explanation:

The general Slope-Intercept form is:
`y=mx+c`
where:
`m=` slope
`c=` y-intercept
are two real numbers.

We want to get to this particular form, so we, basically, isolate `y`:

`y=(x+8)+4`

Transferring the `-4` from left to right and changing its sign.

We then get:

`y=x+8+4`
`y=x+12`
which is in the form: `y=mx+c`
